LETTER: Guns aren't problem, government is

I don't know what all the whoha is regarding the so-called Bushmaster or other so-called "assault-rifles," whatever they are.

If you or others are referring to automatic weapons, they are already banned for purchase to the general citizenry unless one possesses a federal permit to own said automatic weapon.

Why a federal license/permit is necessary is beyond me.

I guess the states are incompetent to issue such licenses/permits, which I don't understand either. They seem perfectly competent to require or issue any other license they can come up with.

If you, Vice President Joe Biden and others are referring to semi-automatic rifles; then, I don't understand that either. Is it because they look scary? That's asinine.

I seem to recall the Newtown, Conn., police reporting that they had recovered an assault rifle in Mr. Lanza's car and that Mr. Lanza had entered the school with four handguns.

Hmmm, how in earth did assault-weapons come into the story other than the police recovered one in the perpetrator's vehicle? Huh, I wonder. Stunning.

What's with high-capacity magazines? And the constant assault on what the Founding Fathers knew or did not know about the future? Who cares what they knew about the future? What they did know was about the past and how governments murder and/or oppress the citizenry of the nation all for some so-called threat or bogeyman that governments conjure up to scare everyone into submission.

That alone is the reason for the Second Amendment. It has nothing whatsoever to do with hunting or collectables.

Government is the sole responsible party for all problems in society and the sole responsible party for the murder of 300 million civilians in the 20th century. It is referred to as democide.

So, for those who do not like liberty and the constitutions of the several states of the American union, which enumerate the birthrights of men and put chains on governments and the Constitution of the United States and its subjects within its districts, all are welcome to seek residence, domicile or addresses elsewhere, including Mr. Biden.
